Scientifically it has been proved that every human being have DNA characteristics of 7 ancestors or 7 generations in his blood.When a human being touches a sesame seed which is going to be offered in pithru pooja, it is activated with changes in its DNA in such a way that this energy reaches the pithruloka through plants there where our ancestors are living.One has to pour the water with sesame seeds in small vessel called thambalam or in land by pouring it in the gap between right thumb finger and index finger as prescribed in ancient vedas.

During tamil month of purattasi, in nearby perumal temples sugar rice, curd rice, tamarind rice, laddu have to be offered to lord perumal and have to be distributed with food to common people.This will protect the family from pithru dosha. For people who had not given tithi properly, this is a way to get ancestors blessings.

During amavasai, tharpana days, ancestors tithi, mahalaya patcha annathanam days, combination of bittergourd, pirandai, palaakaai is special.Providing this with food to common people in lord siva temples, having shades or pattai in lingam, will provide remedy for pithru dosha which comes for every generation.
